However, the company continued to manufacture the best designs of the Buermann shop and market them separately, marking them with an empty star and not adding the trademark anchor stamp.
The company was one of the first to produce automobile seat belt buckles, several years before they became standard equipment by the auto makers. A major addition was made in the 1950s when the company acquired the Wilcox-Crittenden Company of Middletown, manufacturers of a broad line of marine and boat hardware. The company became a major factor in this industry until it was spun off in the 1990s. In the 1970s the company was merged into Gulf and Western, and then passed through the ownership of a couple of other companies until in 1998 it was acquired by the partnership of John Morris and George Ohanesian and the name changed to Buckles International, Inc., operating out of Meriden, Ct. The company no longer manufactures its hardware, but imports most of it and contracts to have some of its products made locally.
